Here's hoping for .js sometime soon
- colinbartlett 13y agoI just want .app. There's a zillion web apps, mobile apps, or desktop apps that could use this. And it's very memorable.
- creeble 13y agoNot as memorable as .com.
- kolev 13y agoIt's a scheme - consumer know ".com" and nothing else. Well, in other countries, their local gTLDs, too, but those new domains are an obvious scheme.
- stephen_g 13y agoIt's not like regular people type in URLs much anyway, apart for a few sites (Google, Facebook, etc) - these days, pretty much everyone I've seen just googles the name. I've even seen some adds actually say 'Google [word]' to find them instead of putting a URL, (or worse, 'Search [x] on Facebook!')
- kolev 13y agoExactly why it's an ICANN scheme and not serving the public interest - domains are becoming less and less relevant and they want to do one last try to extort money from businesses.
- mistermumble 13y agoYes. It is a cartel selling internet plumbing to technologists (bigco IT departments) and clue-challenged business-types as if this were some kind of perfect marketing strategy. Best spend the money (USD 500K+) on SEO, or on simply improving the content and freshness of your existing site.
